Changes for version 0.36 - 2011-08-07
- Since 1.16 MediaWiki now supports uploading files via the API, we no longer need to post directly to Special:Upload. Although now the MediaWiki::API->Upload function will use the api to upload if using a recent mediawiki, it has also been deprecated, as uploads can be done directly via the MediaWiki::API->API call, or if you prefer MediaWiki::API->Edit (where it will automatically get a token for you). Thanks to Jeremy Muhlich for the original patch. Some details about uploading files via the API / Edit calls can be found in the API section of the pod documentation.
- There are now some tests included with the module. They run a few api functions against a test wiki - http://testwiki.exotica.org.uk to make sure everything is working correctly. Feel free to use this wiki for testing the module with your own code also. It is wiped/cleaned regularly.
